The 2nd Joint Meeting in Thailand (NO.3)

  

In the joint Meeting, we had lanch time. The volunteer from their members distributed feast very efficiently. Of course, another helping was OK.

 
 
   It seems quite good.
 
After lunch, my lecture was started. I spoke about black leucochilum developed in Japan.
 
  In the next,  2 authers of description of
Paphiopedilum rungsuiyanum mentioned in detai
about the new species because this species was
descrived in a week. The new species mingled with
Paph. canhii got in quantities from Laos, and it's
said that this one was included in Paph. canhii.
Becaus the aspect of plants is almost similar, they
could no recognize the difference in size of leaves
and i designs of mottle leaves. Even though we were
astonished with that the both species was growing
in really similar place and area naturally as similar
plants. But the flower is completely different. The
deep connection between the two species can be
imagined easily. Anyway... the small flower is cut an
attractive. When my lecture finished, an auction
began. The number of plants wasn't so large
   
 
2 of best Paphiopedilums were selected for species and hybrids. The hybrids was Paph. Julius and the
species was Paph. godefroyae var. leucochilum. It was confirmed that the quality was very hig
ranking and we recognized that Thailand was at the center of Paph. godefroyae var. leucochilum.
But the best Paphiopedilum in this show was Paph. godefroyae var. leucochilum ('Old Mountain' x
' Black Mountain') made in Japan that Mr. late Furuyama produced. Talk of this crossing had been just
done exactly in my lecture, so it was quite timely winning.
 
 Commemorative photography of the participant of this joint meeting. It was regrettable that it was after
many members went home.
 
After meeting, an welcome party was held at a restaurant in the city.

  Commemorative photo with authers who discovered and described Paph. rungsuriyanum as a new
species. We know them well in Japan. 
   
 
 
A dinner party was busy and continued happily. Now,
the next joint meeting will be held in Japan in
2015. Anyone who love paphiopedilums will be able
to participate in this meeting, so please participate
with many your friends by all means. It's expected
to hold it in Nagoya at the end of July, 2015.
